But it’s only $3 billion more as of 2002 to our special ally so only bigots would get upset.
Israel is probably not worried if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. The US guarantees the Jewish state an oil supply, even if experiencing domestic shortages:

Not sure we can trust any polling on Jews. Many may be thinking not of their real attitude but “what’s good for the Jews.” Nevertheless of interest.
Toward the beginning of March a study was published that claimed that “connected Jews” overwhelmingly support the war.
68% of ‘connected’ American Jews support the US-Israel war against Iran, survey finds
That study, commissioned by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) came under fire because it surveyed only “connected” Jews.
The institute says its polls reflect the sentiments of “connected” Jews because its panel includes fewer intermarried Jews, more Jews who are affiliated with denominations and more Jews who have lived in Israel than demographic data would suggest is representative of U.S Jewry overall.
A new poll is now out, conducted by the Mellman Group:
Most American Jews disapprove of US military action against Iran, new poll shows
And a survey of “connected” American Jews detected declining support
In this new study it turns out that general Jewish opinion is closer to general American opinion—far more so than the poll of “connected Jews” would suggest. No doubt there are nuances to all this, but that’s the view from high altitude—limited to the war on Iran. And that should explain to readers why I have settled on the term “Jewish Nationalists” to describe the type of rabid support for the Jewish Supremacy Project.
The new poll found that 55% of American Jews oppose the U.S. military action against Iran, compared to just 32% who support it. The poll found a sharp partisan divide, in line with polling of Americans in general, with Republicans more supportive than Democrats.
For comparison, here are the latest findings from Fox:
The slight difference regarding Iran—close to or within the normal margin of error—may simply reflect that Jews are more generally interested in and concerned about Middle Eastern events.
Now, for an example of what nuances may be hidden by broad brush polling, we can look at a survey that dates back to October, 2025—so, after the 12 Day War, during the buildup to the current war, and with two years of the genocide in Gaza in the rear view mirror:
Poll: 40% of American Jews believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza
You can find a somewhat more detailed discussion of this survey at the Times of Israel:
Poll: Nearly four in 10 US Jews say Israel has committed genocide in Gaza
WaPo survey also finds 68% blame Hamas more for civilian deaths; 76% say Israel’s existence is vital for Jewish future; 31% feel unsafe in US; two-thirds have negative view of Netanyahu
Here we find more of the emotional elements that got crunched into the numbers. Compared to American more generally, Jews are roughly as likely as other Americans to say that Israel is committing “war crimes” (61%)—but radically less likely to describe those crimes as “genocide”, even though pollsters did read the definition of genocide to those who participated in the survey. However, among younger Jews, the percentage who were willing to use the “G” word to describe what is going on rises to 50%. While that’s still significantly lower than American in general, it does as well reflect the inter-generational differences among all Americans.
Multiple polls have found that about 60% of Americans believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, a biting charge that Israel and the United States reject.
Now, for the first time, a poll has taken the pulse of U.S. Jews specifically — and found that 39% of them hold the opinion.
These findings reflect a massive shift from a February 2024 survey by Pew, which had found that
62% of American Jews said the way Israel was carrying out the war against Hamas was acceptable.
The Times of Israel article concludes with a relatively lengthy look at more general views among American Jews regarding Israel:
US Jews’ overall support for Israel, however, appeared to be holding steady. The poll found that 56% of American Jews surveyed feel emotionally attached to Israel, similar to the 58% who said so in a 2020 Pew survey. However, among US Jews ages 18 to 34, only 36% feel an emotional attachment.
In addition, 76% said Israel’s existence is vital to the long-term future of the Jewish people, with 16% disagreeing. Nearly 60% said they had “a lot” or “some” in common with Israeli Jews.
And 59% of American Jews support continued US military aid to Israel to fight against Hamas, in contrast with multiple recent polls that have found most Americans overall oppose continued military aid to Israel.
The poll found, however, that 32% of American Jews feel the US is too supportive of Israel, as opposed to 22% in the 2020 Pew survey. The Post poll found that 47% of respondents think US support for Israel is at the right level, and 20% want Washington to be more supportive.
In contrast to Israelis, most of whom oppose Palestinian statehood, 59% of US Jews say a Palestinian state can coexist peacefully with Israel.
The poll also touched on antisemitism in the US, which, according to repeated surveys and law enforcement reports, has risen substantially since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attack that began the war. The Washington Post found that 26% of respondents feel “not too” safe as Jews in the US, while six percent feel “not at all” safe. Eighteen percent feel “very” safe as Jews in the US, and 51% feel “somewhat” safe.
Seventy-one percent of respondents said being Jewish is important in their lives.
All of which suggests that the hijacking of America’s foreign policy has been accomplished by a well financed but relatively fringey, wild eyed, group of fanatical ideologues.
Take this with a grain of salt. Performed by a company founded by Jewish Democratic pollster Mark Mellman…
And a survey of “connected” American Jews detected declining support.
More than half of U.S. Jews disapprove of the U.S. war against Iran, according to a new poll by a nonpartisan polling firm.
At the same time, an Israeli survey of “connected” American Jews found a slight decrease in support for the joint U.S.-Israeli operation against Iran since its start a month ago.
The new poll found that 55% of American Jews oppose the U.S. military action against Iran, compared to just 32% who support it. The poll found a sharp partisan divide, in line with polling of Americans in general, with Republicans more supportive than Democrats.
A quarter of respondents said they were “torn because while Iran is a threat to peace, this is not the way to handle it.”
The survey was conducted online in mid-March by the Mellman Group, led until his death last year by Jewish Democratic pollster Mark Mellman, and included 800 registered Jewish voters.
The poll found that a large majority of U.S. Jews believe President Donald Trump should have sought congressional approval for the war — including nearly a third of those who support it. And about four in 10 said they opposed the war because it lacked “clear provocation and clear objectives.”
The survey also found that more than half of U.S. Jews say they are concerned that conducting the war jointly with Israel will “be a long-term problem prompting concerns about the role of Israel and American Jews in U.S. foreign policy.”
The results add complexity to the picture of American Jewish sentiment about the war. A poll released last week found that 61% of Americans overall oppose the war, suggesting that American Jews may be slightly more supportive overall — especially when considering that American Jews tend to vote Democratic.
Still, the new poll suggests that American Jews as a whole are less supportive than the “connected” American Jews surveyed regularly by Israel’s Jewish People Policy Institute. About two-thirds of that panel supported the war when surveyed during its first week, according to JPPI. Last week, that number was down to 62%, according to its latest results published on Sunday.
JPPI’s first survey of U.S. Jewish sentiment during the war drew criticism because it reflected the sentiments of a relatively narrow slice of American Jews. The institute says its polls reflect the sentiments of “connected” Jews because its panel, drawn from people with ties to American Jewish groups, includes fewer intermarried Jews, more Jews who are affiliated with denominations, more Orthodox Jews and more Jews who have lived in Israel than demographic data would suggest is representative of U.S Jewry overall.
The Mellman Group’s executive vice president, Michael Bloomfield, said in a statement that his poll’s results underscore the complexity of American Jewish sentiment about the war.
“American Jews are not monolithic. There can be difference, and in this case strongly held on both sides, with a middle group torn between mixed feelings,” he said in a statement. “In today’s political environment, partisanship is a very strong driver of views. That is true across the country across demographics, including American Jews.”
I’m listening to Alastair Crooke right now and he’s saying Trump’s claim of negotiations and a new regime are simply not true. There are no negotiations. What happens, he says, is that the US attempts to send messages to Iran via Egypt or Pakistan or some other regional government. Sometimes Iran simply refuses to accept the message, at other times they send back a simple response: No! But there are no negotiations. In fact, Trump said last night: “We’re negotiating with [Iran] directly and indirectly.” Uh, why would you negotiate indirectly with a party with whom you are having direct negotiations??
This has become a pattern. Over the weekend investors ponder what’s going on. Trump reacts by, first thing Monday, promulgating Fake News—i.e., lies—in order to try to head off adverse market reactions to the Real News. Later in the week, reality sets in.

Interestingly, last week multiple senior fund managers pointed out to me that this pattern has held for each of the last 3 weeks:
“TACO/positive news” Monday, “uh-oh” by Wednesday, “dumpster fire” by Friday

Heads-up: Pre-market so-called “news” or “Truth” is often just a setup for profit-taking. Basically, it’s a reverse indicator.
Do the opposite: If they pump it, short it. If they dump it, go long.
It looks like Iran’s trading advice works:
And so this morning …
Please note: “we will conclude our ‘lovely’ stay in Iran”. That sounds like an intended TACO. Nice try.

Maximum Pain Tactic:
Trump greenlighted a massive USraeli attack over the weekend against Iran, mobilizing all available airpower assets.
 The goal was to shock the population & force an  overreaction
 But as global markets open today, Iran did not enter the escalate to de-escalate game.
You don’t do that if cards & time are yours

Another attempt to gaslight the markets this morning:
Iran is simply conducting diplomacy among regional countries—and Pakistan has been supportive to Iran at times. Nothing has changed.
Professor Marandi sent a bit different response to Trump’s latest message, which gets to the heart of Trump’s panic:

S&P 500 is currently up, but Asia is reacting to the imminent crisis, the tsunami that will hit them first:
The Netanyahu/Trump pole is most of all focused on Iran. If Iran were to fall, they would most likely turn their attention to supporting Ukraine and targeting Russia. But Iran’s desperate resistance is diverting their main attention. Right now, Russia is not their priority — Iran is. Of course, Trump no longer cares at all about “peacekeeping,” so any settlement with Russia, if it has any meaning, is purely pragmatic. His war is the war with Iran. Israel has made this war Trump’s war. And Trump is not backing away from it.
Thus, one axis has been formed: the US/Israel against Iran. Other regional powers are being offered a choice — and it is a harsh one: either join the American-Israeli coalition or join Iran (the Resistance). No intermediate position is envisaged, and if anyone tries to insist on neutrality, they will be bombed and attacked from both sides. There is no neutrality here. The train has left the station.
The second axis: the EU/Britain/globalists in the US (primarily the Democratic Party) against Russia and in support of the Kyiv regime. This is a very real and ferocious war, for which the majority of European countries (with the exception of Hungary and Slovakia) are preparing for direct participation. The Democratic Party in the US is promoting precisely this war; for this pole, Ukraine is the priority.
The main goal of both poles is to drive a wedge between Iran and Russia so that they do not notice that they are fighting the same enemy. And the main complaint of the US and Israel toward the EU and the globalists, as well as the main complaint of the EU and the globalists toward the US and Israel, is precisely that they are waging two wars against two opponents of Epstein’s civilization at the same time, rather than one after the other.
Since the war with Iran is dragging on, Israel is gradually turning into Gaza, and the world economy is about to collapse due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz (energy lockdowns have already been introduced in some countries), the globalists have turned against Trump, who, in their view, is “betraying Ukraine” and diverting attention from the main enemy — Russia. This line is being pumped up by Soros’s networks, which generally hate Trump and Netanyahu. But the following must be kept in mind: those who attack Trump and Israel most fiercely for the war with Iran are not against war in general, but for war with Russia. Almost all the European forces and entire countries that have piled on Netanyahu are simply demanding a shift in priorities in favor of Zelensky’s regime. In the US, the Democrats are screaming about this at the top of their lungs.
Iran and Russia perfectly understand that the issue is not who in the West is for war and who is against it, but on whom the West wants to concentrate first. This only means that they will concentrate on the other later. No one harbors any illusions. And of course, Russia and Iran are fighting on the same side and against the same enemy. Any surface-level actions do not change the essence of the Third World War. The fog of war. Negotiations. Distractions. Smoke and mirrors.
The main thing now is not to let the enemy — the collective West, Epstein’s civilization — defeat us one by one. We must enter the war as soon as possible and as radically as possible. Support friends and allies, convince the wavering, and bring society to a state of emergency.
A very vivid example is Iran’s information war, which they are winning brilliantly. This is simply an observation.
A great deal depends on China. So far it is waiting, but it has already unleashed its latest psychological weapon — Professor Jiang Xueqin. He is attacking the consciousness of global analysts with his predictions. Not bad at all. For the first time, Chinese intellectuals have begun talking about the Zionist conspiracy, eschatology, Sabbatai Zevi, Jacob Frank, the Illuminati, grand geopolitics, and global capitalist elites. China’s strategic thinking is coming into focus. No more “win-win” or panda strategies. Things are being called by their real names.
Beijing will strike at Taiwan, but it is unclear when. If it waits until other forces of multipolarity are weakened or, God forbid, fall, China will not stand alone. Therefore, it is better to strike right now, opening a third front. Against the very same enemy. Strictly and directly the same one.
Right now the enemy is preparing, but is not yet ready to wage three wars simultaneously. And if someone else from the multipolar world opens an additional front, the enemy’s forces will be spread across the entire planet. It is high time to begin a global planetary uprising against the dictatorship of Baal. He has exposed himself sufficiently.
It is no coincidence that Peter Thiel, who brought Trump to power, is traveling the world giving lectures about the Antichrist. Everyone has seen the true face of the West — it is Epstein. It is the murdered Iranian schoolgirls, it is the tens of thousands of infants in Gaza. No one can say: “I didn’t know, I didn’t see, I wasn’t aware.” That excuse no longer works. Everyone has seen and everyone knows, and if they are still not fighting on our side of the front, then in essence they are on the side of the enemy. And they become legitimate targets.
Latin America currently looks like the obviously weak link. The shameful surrender of the ideas of the Revolution and Chávez’s legacy by the pathetic cowards in the Venezuelan government is depressing. No one will name their daughters “Delcy” for centuries to come. The surname “Rodríguez” has also been badly damaged. Lula and Brazil, as well as Mexico and Colombia, are doing something to help Cuba, but they do not dare directly challenge the United States. They are afraid. But there is no point in being afraid anymore — it’s too late.
In Africa there are brilliant heroes in the form of the countries of the Sahel Association (Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali), proud Ethiopia, and several other regimes that have not bowed before the civilization of Baal (CAR, partly South Africa). This inspires cautious optimism.
The Sunni Islamic world is divided, its upper echelons are corrupt and integrated into the Epstein archipelago, the masses are corrupted by idiotic Salafism and Wahhabism, which make Muslims pour out their anger on the innocent and defend the interests of the US and Israel. A relatively sovereign position is held by Pakistan (though it has its own war with the Taliban-Pashtuns) and Indonesia. As for the Zionists, Erdoğan is next in line for elimination, but he will waver (as usual).
India, being a pillar of multipolarity and a State-Civilization, finds itself in a difficult position. New Delhi sees China as its main regional rival, and Modi and the surrounding Hindutva regard Islam with great suspicion. This pushes India toward an alliance with the US and Israel, although a more active policy on this side of the front is hardly to be expected.
North Korea looks like the most adequate country, and Japan the most inadequate.
The Third World War is being waged between those who want to preserve and strengthen the hegemony of the collective West at any cost (both in its wild-Trumpist, Zionist version and in the globalist Euro-model), and multipolar humanity — that is, us. It is already underway. In full swing.
Of course, one can continue to pretend that nothing of the sort is happening. But why?
GOP Rep. Nancy Mace has led the charge this week, blasting any potential Trump admin move to put American boots on the ground, warning she will vehemently oppose new war funding if American troops are deployed in Iran. “I’ll be voting against the funding if we’re putting troops on the ground,” Mace told a reporter outside the Capitol earlier in the week. “I’m not going to fund that.”
The comments came after the Pentagon days prior unveiled a massive $200 billion supplemental request in order to fund the war, which was at first previewed by White House officials as lasting a mere ‘days’ or a few ‘weeks’ and not months (or years).
Mace soon followed her verbal comments with a Tuesday post on X pushing back against getting sucked into a ground war. “If a single boot of a single American soldier sets foot on Iranian soil, I will vote against this,” Mace wrote. “I will not vote to fund sending South Carolina’s sons and daughters to die in a ground war in Iran.”
